There was excitement in the agency on Friday as no one eagerly gathered around for our monthly “Don’t Bake a Cake Off”.

Set up nearly five months ago, not baking cakes was designed to help build team spirit in the agency and has proved a real hit. So far no one’s baked chocolate brownies (scrummy!), Victoria sponge cakes (not so scrummy), flapjacks (won by Anna) and muffins (no one bothered not baking anything), but this month it was everyone’s turn not to bake Carrot Cakes.

Chris G’s effort – needed more icing.

We were really impressed with the amount of people that didn’t bother to bake anything, with Chris G, Rory, Emma, Leanda and Adam F all not making a really good effort. Adam R also didn’t bake a cake, but we suspect he might have got his girlfriend not to bake it!

Hari’s entry – slightly over-done, but no walnuts was a nice touch.

It was a really close call, but in the end everyone agreed the amazing, moist carrot cake shaped like a real carrot that Emma didn’t bake was the worthy winner.

Em’s winning effort – great with a cuppa!

Next month: no one’s baking cookies!
